institutions to attract sav ngs accounts,

mium fora savings account,or otherwise. ,f

The principal objectof.thejinvention is:

"to 'rovide a s-im le 5 ractical' and 'i'nex e11- sive construction of device of the class spec.- 1fied.

Anothero'bject ofthe invention is to pi o vide a construction which can bereadily assembled and disassembled. 7

Another object of theinvention is to avoid the use or rivets, bolts and similar devices. .In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is aside elevationof a coin bank embodying my present; invention i I Fig. 2 is anend elevation of the same;

Fig. 3 is a horizontalv section taken 'on line 33inFig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken onlinefl 4..1in Fig. 1; p Fig. 5, is a vverticalsection taken on line .5- 5 in Fig.2 on an enlarged "sca:le.

Referring to the drawings, 1 show at D111 banklconveniently made inthe form ofa houselor cottage, and to; such endwhat may be calleda cottage bank. It'will be understood, of course, that the features of.

this invention are notlimited to this kind,

form or shape ofbank.

The bank shown comprises a base'l, side walls 2- and 3, and' end walls 4 and 5. This base 1 is provided witha flat bottom and an upstandingrim 7, ledges 6+6 and 6'- 6 'extendingaround the edge of base 1. (Figs. 3 and 4). The sides. 2 and3 and ends 4 and 5 are fitted within this rim 7, 5, that the latter'holds them against outward movement. Clips 8- 8 are provided on theledges 6-6, and are bent or clamped down so that. they will fit over inwardly projecting bottom edges 9-9 on sides 2 and 3.; This for-ms a secure joint or connection between-sides- 2 and 3 and lezlges 6 6, firmly locking sald .s i'd'e-s-to said ledges. .heldin place byhaving their vertical edges "l010;iitted. within. the bent vertical ends j or :edges '12 "the roof also is secured place without provided with windows and thefbank othe The ends 12of-the sidesQl and .The'upper endswot walls t and 5;.are
